Methodology & Context

How We Built This

Data was compiled from publicly available sources — including KSU Simple Syllabus, Open Georgia, and KSU Institutional Research — across three academic terms: Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and Fall 2026. The census targets KSU's 12 largest classrooms — rooms with 100+ seats — spread across 9 buildings on the Kennesaw, Marietta, and KSU Center campuses.

Faculty metadata (rank, department, college) was cross-referenced with publicly available personnel records from Open Georgia. Sections listed as “Staff” indicate assignments not yet finalized at the time of data collection.

Research Faculty

Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor — tenure-track or tenured positions with research expectations.

Instructional Faculty

Lecturers, Instructors, Clinical faculty, Part-time appointments, and all other non-tenure-track positions. Sections listed as “Staff” (no named instructor) are also classified here, as these large introductory courses are typically staffed by non-tenure-track faculty.

Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 enrollment numbers are final. Fall 2026 enrollment is preliminary — registration was still underway when these data were collected. Capacity figures reflect the maximum seating configured for each section, which may differ from the room's physical capacity.

The High-Seat Teaching Assignment Workforce Census (HSTAWC), ongoing since September 2025, examines who is assigned to teach in the university's largest physical classroom spaces — and what that reveals about how instructional labor is distributed.
